Our read on YNOT
CMost innovation funds just buy the obvious winners. YNOT sorts emerging-tech companies into four phases, from the chipmakers enabling a technology to the businesses that eventually use it, and actively shifts money along that chain.
The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of companies operating in digital and technology sectors, emphasizing firms involved in digital innovation and transformation.
Why people hold it
- The phase map is the whole idea: enablers, the infrastructure layer, the companies monetizing products, and the firms using the tech to cut costs. Managers decide where along that chain to lean.dividend.comhorizoninvestments.com
- Actively managed and global by design: US and non-US stocks, ADRs, even other ETFs are in bounds, so the portfolio isn't bolted to one index committee's definition of innovation.finance.yahoo.com
- Roughly 100 names, screened on growth, value, momentum, quality, size and volatility. A multi-factor filter sits on top of the theme rather than pure story-stock picking.dividend.com
Worth knowing
- The active framework carries an active price: 0.75% a year, above the middle of its thematic peer group, where several of the best-regarded options charge less (KOMP 0.20%, XT 0.46%).
- Non-diversified by charter, so a small group of holdings can steer results. It's also a small, thinly traded fund, which tends to mean wider spreads than the category's household names.finance.yahoo.com
- The record starts in July 2025, so there's little history to judge the phase model through a full cycle. The mandate is capital appreciation, not income.
